A PSYCHIC funnywoman is urging women to grab their men’s lives by the balls.

Anne Smith, of Glasgow, is set to travel the country with her Dead Men Talking tour.

And part of the so-called comedium’s show is a no-holds-barred discussion about testicular cancer.

The aim of the 17-date tour, starting on March 4, is to get more women to check their partner’s testicles for lumps.

Anne said: “The shout out is meant to be funny and to give ladies in the audience a laugh, but obviously there’s also a serious message.

“I am suggesting that women give their guy a monthly feel so they can check for any nasty lumps and bumps.

“I hope they don’t find anything untoward but, if they do, they could save their man’s life.”

The Dead Men Talking tour is in support of the John Hartson Foundation’s Grab Life by the Balls campaign.

John, a former Celtic player, is lucky to be alive after ignoring two small testicular lumps.

A young dad at the time, it took four years and a series of severe headaches before he visited his GP.

Sadly for John, the lumps turned out to be cancer – and it was discovered that the disease had spread to his brain and lungs.

Months of operations and gruelling chemotherapy saved his life in 2009, but since then the footballer has been raising the awareness of testicular cancer.

John’s campaign is poignant as the number of cases of testicular cancer is rising. While it accounts for just one per cent of all male cancers in the UK, there are an estimated 2000 new cases each year.

That’s more than double the number diagnosed 20 years ago.

Yet it is also one of the most treatable cancers with a success rate as high as 95 per cent if caught early enough.

The problem is that too many men ignore the signs or don’t know what to look out for. And that’s why Anne believes more women need to get involved.

The acclaimed psychic medium said: “I learned about the John Hartson Foundation through a friend and I decided to offer my support.

“I thought that if I could get a cancer check message over to the women in my audiences in a lighthearted way then it might make a difference.

“After all, men have been encouraged for years to check their woman’s breasts for abnormal lumps.

“If a squeeze of the balls leads to us ladies helping to eradicate deaths from testicular cancer then let’s just go for it.”

Anne has also pledged 20 per cent of the profits from her show, which will tour Scotland and the north-east of England, to the Hartson Foundation.

Following the introductory Grab Life by the Balls talk, Anne will lead two 45-minute psychic sessions. She has been working full time as a medium and healer for almost a decade.

She said: “Dead Men Talking is aimed at connecting with men beyond the grave.

“The audience will be mostly women and according to the universal law of attraction, it is likely that many will feel a connection with someone they once knew in this life.

“I think that, given the theme of the tour, there will be connections with men who suffered cancer and, in particular, prostate or testicular cancer.

“A lot of happiness can come from these connections – and I hope the tour will have many positive outcomes.”
